Yes, I see that thread. It reports a problem with the MacGUI package manager.
That was not the problem reported and in fact both help() and the package
manager open correctly. The problem reported was with `help.search()`

There is no R 3.2.0-patched for Mavericks/Yosemite machines. There was a "3.1.3
Patched" for the Snow Leopard platform. I had used the most recent version of R
3.2.0 from the ATT Research site. I then updated to the release candidate as
suggested and R GUI now fails to load with this crash report. Note the error in
naming the location of the R target as to be found in
/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.3/...
I also see that there was a note: x86_64: make FAILED
Starting R from the a Terminal window succeeds and the error with help.search()
does not occur. R 3.2.1 also loads with RStudio with an error reported on
startup that I'm pretty sure has already been reported elsewhere.
